Abstract With the rapid development of social economy, power supply reliability of the distribution network has become particularly important. The distribution network has long been faced with problems such as overvoltage, single‐phase grounding failure and grounding protection. Passive, active, and hybrid arc suppression devices (ASDs) are proposed to solve these problems. Passive ASDs have the advantages of high reliability, low control complexity and good economic benefits, and have been widely used in distribution networks. With the wide a...
